Join New York Textile Lab at Little Creek Farm to dig into healthy soil and see how your material sourcing can have a positive impact on climate change.
Tour the farm and meet innovators from the agricultural and design industries who are actively working to shift our textile production systems to regenerative models. Explore Climate Beneficial textiles and engage in a Q&A panel to learn about Carbon Farming and other strategies to help us grow a textile industry rooted in social and environmental equity.
Our Carbon farm Planner will lead a walking tour of Little Creek Farm and discuss practices that are designed to draw carbon out of the air and store it in the soil. He will show soil samples and discuss regenerative farming practices. Hear from experts about raising sheep, alpacas and the connection between soil health and fiber quality. Learn about building a national farm- to- product supply chain focused on regenerative farming. Visitors will get to see the alpacas up close!

New York Textile Lab is a design and consulting company. We design yarns and textiles that connect designers to fiber producers and mills to help grow an economically diverse textile supply ecosystem. The resources that we provide give designers agency to make better decisions about their social and environmental investments. Our textiles embody deep value through our sourcing and production practices. The fibers we use are grown on healthy, climate beneficial soil within our region, and we partner with mills and manufacturers that are local, transparent, and ethical.
NY Textile Lab believes that the worlds textile production should grow out of abundant, regenerative systems that emerge from collective thinking, rather than centralized systems that rely on extraction, scarcity and competition.
